Gender issues in animal production systems research

This paper does not proved a complete overview, but is meant as a discussion paper for the Animal Production Systems Workshop. It aims first at showing the importance of gender issues in Animal Production Systems Research (APSR), and second, at discussing some methodological issues and formulating guidelines that are of crucial importance for gender-sensitive APSR. A short overview of the growing gender awareness in APSR is given by means of a literature search on the importance of gender roles in livestock production. Later, the variability of gender roles in livestock production is illustrated by means of three case studies selected to show varying impacts of specific gender issues on APSR. From these three examples and other experiences, issues of particular relevance to gender-sensitive APSR are discussed in a broader context
